My previous Turning Domain!

My large lathe which is currently in storage consists of this Nova which was upgraded after this picture with a long-bed extension and  the offset Bowl Turning attachment
 
I kept my variable-speed Jet mini-lathe available for fair weather turning when my daughter's garage is not to cold.

Spinde Turning Experience
 
Turned 32 of these babies for a friend in 2006 who was building a baby cradle for a relative.   Repetitive spindle turning does help fine-tune your skills.   Amazing how your eyes will adjust to little variations.
